With gunpowder cement and pulley sets, these three things have increased the speed of building a city several times. If nothing unexpected happens, the county town will probably be in everyone's vision in less than a year. How fast is this matter? It is almost outrageous than it took more than ten years to build a county town in the past. The Chang'an City of the Tang Dynasty took several generations to be truly built. And if there were this cement gunpowder and pulley sets, Yan Lide would be confident that he could expand Chang'an City several times within ten years. This is the power of technology. Yan Lide, an architect, has the deepest experience. He experienced the infinite power of technology from these small things. Yan Lide quickly reported the news to the emperor, as if he wanted to report the news.

"Your Majesty, is there anything you need to ask me for? Is it about gunpowder?" Jing Wen asked.

But Li Shimin shook his head and said, "I don't care about gunpowder. What I care about is cement!"

Jing Wen is also a little strange. Why doesn’t Li Shimin care about gunpowder?

"Your Majesty, why don't you care about gunpowder?" Jing Wen asked.

"It's not bad to use gunpowder to break ambush, but there are too many preparations and the risks are high, so it's not a very good thing. So, you can just play with it yourself, and you don't have to report it to me." Li Shimin said.

Only then did Jing Wen realize that it was Emperor Li Shimin who did not think of the real use of gunpowder. In fact, before the invention of cannons, gunpowder was very limited. Before the invention of cannons, gunpowder was used to ambush, and the risks were also high, so it was not a weapon that military strategists were optimistic about. Moreover, the emperor obtained the news through Yan Lide. Yan Lide was an engineer, so Yan Lide naturally cared about cement rather than gunpowder. This also caused Yan Lide's memorial to Li Shimin to mention cement more than gunpowder. Gunpowder was probably just a note in Yan Lide's memorial, and there was not much ink and heavy color.

"Your Majesty, do you want this cement?" Jing Wen asked.

Li Shimin immediately said, "Jingwen! My Tang Dynasty is now in ruins and everything needs money. And I am a benevolent monarch and I can't bear to let the people bear too much corvee. And this cement is just right. You can build the city wall and quickly build the city wall, so that the Tang Dynasty can be completed quickly. Moreover, it can save a lot of costs and let the people not have to bear too heavy corvee. This is a great thing! I believe you will definitely help me."

Jing Wen was murmured in his heart: "You said so, how can I not help? However, if you want to take it away for no reason, there is no good thing!"

"Your Majesty, OK! As long as the emperor wants, I can produce a large amount of cement for the emperor to use. However, this production requires cost. So..." Although Jing Wen didn't say anything, the meaning was very obvious, and it was obviously a profit.

Li Shimin suddenly smiled and said, "Jing Wen! Don't worry, I won't ask for your stuff for nothing. It's really a gift!"

"Oh? The sun is coming out from the west?" Jing Wen was surprised.

Usually, Li Shimin, who is a stingy person, saves as much as he can, and will never say anything he can give money. Now that the emperor's integrity has been recovered, he has become more conservative. This is simply unimaginable!

"But I plan to invest in the cement industry!" Li Shimin said.

After listening to it, Jing Wen immediately knew that this emperor was still a person who wanted money. Jing Wen knew that this emperor liked money and was not ordinary. Since he made money, he became addicted, so he immediately wanted to invest in this cement industry.

"Your Majesty, don't compete with the people for profit!" Jing Wen said immediately.

"Don't compete with the people for profit? Then I am afraid that your cement workshop will have any bad people in or if there is a production problem, so the government needs to investigate. This is not a competition with the people for profit, but this is so for the people to be safe." Li Shimin said.

Threat, this is the threat of Hongguoguo. Li Shimin's meaning is very obvious, that is, he is not allowed to invest, so he has to send people to check the water meter frequently. Although the emperor may not be rich, he has the right! He can send a few people to check the water meter at any time, so that you can't open your business with peace of mind. This method is a common method of bribery used by many corrupt officials, but the emperor uses it so that who dares to punish him? What's more, this is for the sake of the safety of the people, and no one can refute it.

"Shameless! It's so shameless! No wonder you can be the emperor!" Jing Wen sighed in his heart.

"Your Majesty, how much do you plan to want?" Jing Wen asked.

"60% of the money, I will pay 1,000 guan, and I will need 60% of the money. How about it? This cement is related to the future city construction of my Tang Dynasty, so I must have 60%! It can save costs!" Li Shimin asked.

Although a thousand guan of money is already a lot for many people, compared with future investments, Jing Wen, who spends more money, accounts for the majority, so the investment of the emperor can simply be ignored.

"Your Majesty, why not do this. You give 60% of your membership to Yan Lide. After all, he is also one of the inventors! So, he should be able to obtain some, otherwise why should he help us with this research and construction in the future? Therefore, giving him 20% is also beneficial to make this work so that he can continue to research in the future. He wants both the horse to run and the horse to eat grass!" Jing Wen said.

Li Shimin thought for a while and said, "Yes, give the Yan family 20% of the members, and then let them help us create new cement and more varieties. The cement needed in the future will naturally become harder and harder, so that we can be competent for the new city wall!"
